  • there is a much better quality video of this just type in derek roddy fast this is the most horrible video quality ive ever seen

  • this is freikin sweet

  • he's no max kolesne

  • very great drummer, dont get me just dont really like the style of drumming very much. this isnt a negative comment

  • the camera can't keep up with him

  • Joey Jordison is way better guys this guy hits repeted notes too much\

  • @BACKWARDSMAN1000 blowey fagison is a no talent, monotonous, over rated piece of ball skin, and anyone who likes him is a loser piece of shit that has no idea what music is, before you pick at roddy for playing "too much" notes, do some research on him, you no good piece of fuck

  • What the french toast

  • @Drummerwithagroove Who are you calling a Cootie Queen? You lint licker.

  • @grandolddrummer thanks to you I discovered Captured! by Robots, thank you lol

  • @Drummerwithagroove It's a great band. I'm wearing my C!BR t-shirt as I'm typing this.

  • Hey guys you should come and check out my new video I put up of me playing =]

  • its not what hes playing that makes him great its the precision hes playing with! hes in perfect time to whole time. im very impressed

  • I can understand why people are slating this vid, but before youu run your mouths check out some of his vids on his channel :)

    Derek has a VERY widespread playing ability, playing everything from metal to rhumba, a true musician ;D

    I must admit though im not a big fan of metal drumming personally, but this man is a very talented player, i have a great deal of respect for this man, not only for his playing but his general outlook on music :D

    take care guyss

    peacee :)

  • @StickyyWinklee agree this is one teeny tiny aspect of his drumming. His non-metal drumming is far more interesting. Not many drummer who have the insane technical chops to be among the elite tech death drummers AND have the versitility and feel like he does... Marco M. and uhmmm who else?

  • I know that Derek could do so much good gimmicks and technigue-stuff, but he doesn't show it in his playing very much. If he would use those jazz skills he got for example, he would be more interesting drummer. But mostly, you can just see him blasting and doing nothing else. And that's a shame :(

  • boring

  • @J4KETS - if thats what he enjoys doing then who cares.

    I am sure he doesn't spend his time on youtube slandering other musicians.

  • \,,,/ wooow u r so good

  • This can't be a solo....This seems like something he would have played in Nile or Hate Eternal. This doesn't even come close to what Derek can do. Change the title to Derek Roddy playing something that isn't a solo, because this has the rhythm of a death metal song.

  • It does sound like a death metal song.

  • @miketripp9 its still a solo even tho its following time, its just switching from all sorts of blast beats which is awesome and its unbelievable

  • The snare is pretty cool but it all boils down to a boring beat..sry

  • why would you say sorry at the end? like your apologizing cuz there is no way around your all mighty opinion.haha not everyone agrees get over yourself

  • your good

  • not a very good solo, not very hard either, blastbeats are easy after about a month of practicing just they are boring to play and listen to. change up the beat a lil

  • holy buckets i just shit my pants a little bit

  • MOTHERFUCKING BALLS!!!!!!

  • HOLY...

    tuperware containers

  • hahahaha

  • this is borin just constant blast beats

  • true.

    i like blast beats,but for a short time.gets boring after a while..

  • look at some of new vids or watch him at md fest 08 he is way more creative now...

  • of you are interested in metal drumming, blast beats will grow on you. i myself absolutly hate blast beats for a whole entire song, but a short little 8 beat blast or even 16 is actually nice

  • dude you are just saying that cause your not that fast---- jealousy

  • Comment removed

  • dude this is amazing. people have no idea how insainly hard it is to play that fast. i play the drums and i cant blast worth a shit. fucking sick

  • 1:02 OH SHIT DUBBLE PEDAL!

  • Man ppl have no clue! This is amazing!

  • sic sic sic sic sic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • amazing! good speed. i love it!

  • hate comes from denial, you must be a faggot

  • you guys are all fucking idiots and havent even attempted to play anything remotely like any of this...

    i guess single foot blastbeats and bomb-blasts at over 260 beats per minute just arent hard compared to the same beats slower and more syncopated... and singlestroke 32nd note cascades that dont start on the same tom just count as randomly hitting things..

    i mean who would wanna play these hard things if less people like it?!?!? :0 THATS NOT HOW YOU MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS!!!!

    :]

  • uh Joey Jordison is a damn good drummer. and to everyone who says death metal drumming is so hard....wow...blast beats...yeah...they're crazy aren't they. i wish i could do the same thing over and over. i mean shit if i could and didnt add any variation to my stuff but randomly hitting the toms it'd sound exactly like this guy..

    oh but derek roddy is amazing at hitting stuff.

  • very impresive,but would like to see a bit more variation im sure hes capable of it, though the fat shit is cool

  • As a drummer i can say this guy is insanely good at drumming, but alot of drummers like myself look for accents and rudaments which this drumming doesnt have from what i can see. Insane drumming though!

  • thank you so much for having the courtesy to give positive feedback, respectfully pointing out exactly why this isnt something that interests you... rather than doing what all the ignorant people who have no idea what theyre looking at do, and bash it because they cannot relate to it.

  • Well i just comment on what i see man, people do need to understand this drumming is on a strict genre which makes this drumming spot on!

  • das is nur auf di trommeln hauen und sonst nix! die bassdrums hören sich wie ein traktor an!

    schaut euch lieber jojo mayer an!

  • speed isnt everything

  • Its hilarious to me that the only people who know anything about what theyre looking at are the drummers. slipknot is obviously simple music... and deathmetal is obviously musician's music. oh it isnt? yeah? do you understand it then? no? there you go.

    and the drummers who dont like it, who think "its not hard".... havent even come close to attempting it. and once they do... they at least understand how much physically harder it is than everything else.

    coughbreakdownscough

  • this guy is a great drummer, very fast but in over all skill im sorry but joey is FAR better. JOEY IS THE KING

  • haha,

    d00d

    your funny.

  • Yea when im tellin jokes im very funny, but that was no joke. derek roddy is a great drummer dont get me wrong but.. joey is a savage. And theres nothing u can say that can disprove that...

  • yes.....fast......but it's alway the same thing!

  • to someone who doesnt know any better. and also, this is a practice demonstration.

  • practice demonstration?1?!?!?!!hahahaha­h!!!!you don't know what is a practice demonstration!!look at the professionist!!they do a practice demonstration.......ah a little information:i play drum and i know how it is difficult do this''exercice''.....

  • its all nice to watch how fast he is, but joey just sounds so much better.

  • Not To Be An Asshole But I Don't Really Find Going All Out Fast Is Well.... Drumming.

    All Of This Death Metal Drumming Sounds The Same.. I Mean The Hits Constantly with The Left, Fast On The Ride With The Right & A Double Bass Pedal Keeping The Same Beat Over And Over Again And Again.

    Thats My Opinion Tho So If You Agree Fine.

    If You Don't Thats Your problem.

    Don't Give Me Shit For It Ok?

    I'm Just Expressing What I Want To say.

    Later Boys,

  • I love to see,how ppl just like to critic this drummer, and compare him with joey jordison. I'll speak my truth, both are great drummers, but Derek has a better technic than Joey,that is for sure, Joey can't handle a double bass beat more than 3 minutes,he just can't. Nobody says joey is a bad drummer,of course not! But derek is a life better, just look up his movements,and the way he moves. I ain't got nothing against joey, I am drummer,and to me seems DEREK pwns Joey's ass-
  • i think joey is a great drummer, but derek beats him. derek can hold double bass longer and blast beats better. hes amazing at speed and fills expect he has no rhythm, all he does is blast beats and double bass because thats how death metal drummers play. joey on the other hand, he doesnt play blast beats and double bass for 10minutes because likes to play going along with the song with symphony. also thxtatu why the fuck do u have to talk about the way they look does it really matter faggot?

  • great playin

    keep up the good beats

  • your all saying joey is better cos your all ''yeah slipknot are d best'' wannabe type of ppl! who dont no what real music is

  • joey is better

  • derek is nothing like joey jordison.......joey will beat the hell out of derek and then shove the drum sticks so far up his ass he wont be able to ever sit or drum again

  • HAHAHHA you wish...

  • dude derek is already dealing with drumsticks up his ass haha

  • this guy sux!!!

  • joey is way better.

    this one stays in one beat

    joey changes his rhytms, and beats.

    JOEY IS THE BEST!

  • you can´t compare joey with this guy, joey rules!!

  • lame

  • wow...wow, a7x7636 u have noooo clue what your talking about..."anyone can play fast" my ass...u make a video of u playing (if u even play) post it...and lets see how u compare

  • yer retarted..yes i do play....for 8 years...u must suck then

  • well lets see it then...i dont like blast beats, but u gotta admit this is cool

  • he sux. any1 can play fast. but he does have great stamina, that i give him....if this isnt fast forwarded.

  • no dude not any one can play that fast.

  • george kollias goes faster =) but nevermind

  • OK you posted this vid as a response to joey jordisons drum vid.. Derek Roddy is fast, no doubt, but i personally dislike the structure of this drumsolo. It's basically blast beat, fill, ride + double bass, blast beat, cymbal action, blast beat. In my opinion he is lacking creativity and focuses on speed instead of some kind of 'flow'. I'm not saying this guy isn't a good metal drummer, but i favor Joey Jordison.. btw: The vid you responded to is only a soundcheck Joey did, not an actual solo

  • Blast Beats are LAME

  • your comment is LAME

  • Ride dick much?

  • yea bra thats how i roll

  • I bet your one of "those" drummers we all talk about. Could be good, if you learned how to read and proper technique, but instead too focused on speed and shit like blast beats. Ashame, too many drummers fall into that.

  • i know how to read music and im pretty decent with rudiments, but i just enjoy playing and listening to metal more

  • So he can blast... and he's fast, he's good but I just dont really like this vid =[

  • dude lacks style and complexity and im suspicious he might have epilepsy and his kit sucks ass

  • dude watch some of his other videos he has plenty of style

  • go listen to slip knot and.... fuck your face!

  • i dont know what i was on when i wrote that other comment, i think this dude kicks ass he just need smore tom work

  • DAMN he can really play those blast beats a long time!

  • omg want better blast beats to listen to

    search warface drummer

  • fuck blast beats.

  • he's maby fast,

    but probably don't even know what polyrythms are :P

  • Haha, he plays jazz very well I heard.

  • good techniques, well played. Not the best drumming, but its preeety nice

  • bad

  • why is he such a beast?

  • change the fuckin title

    this isnt a solo

    its pretty much just him jammin

    anyways derek owns all

  • Technically... it is a solo, because he is alone. Solo means by one's self.

  • hahahahah

  • Playing solo and playing "a solo" isn't the same thing.

  • same old shit ...... same beats same snare hits same patern same blast beats same old shit ........

  • damn fast left hand

  • ok, big woooppp he cant do a constand fast speed, that makes him the best how???? he is v good tho

  • I agree.. people assume just cuz its quick its really good, but i dont think this sounds that good. I mean he's an amazing drummer, but i think your right, its in no way the best solo.

  • shit

  • boooooooorrrrin he just doin same thing :S

  • you know how tired is to play like that only half of the video? D=

  • hell yeah!!!

  • i love 1:05

  • what bands he from?

  • Hate Eternal

  • wow do ya wanna go any fAsTeR???

    dude that was intense, really really good

  • boring. very, very boring.

  • the whole speed metal thing has become boring as hell

  • this guy fucking creams jordison

  • nada! este tipo no compara a nadie

  • pffft no skill there

  • are you kidding? seriously I hate all you fags who put down death metal drummers when we have the hardest jobs. Stop being so fucking ignorant and try to play that fast and clean for more than fucking 4 seconds

  • it dosent flow as well as Joeys

  • joey cant touch this guy.

  • why does he have a restraining order on him?

  • sorry guys but I prefer Joey Jordison... ;D

    but this drummer is good...

  • Derek Roddy and Joey Jordison its a diferent style... :S

    of course joey jordison is a nice drummer... but Derek Roddy is Better... jeje sorry my english sux XDD

  • woow! this blastbeats are awesome!!

  • now heres a drummer i respect

  • he's fast but his rythm sucks

  • its definately not fast forwarded... look at the cymbals after he hits them

  • Al Ataaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkee­eeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dereck El Monstruo!!!!!

  • heh, ur knowledge of drummers astounds me, if you want to hear something none of these metal drummers can do, then you should listen to some billy cobham

  • Derek Roddy can play other styles very well. He's not just a metal drummer, even if he is a great one. Don't be a moron, know what you're talking about. Billy Cobham may be good too, but you're just a jackass.

  • Derek rocks! hes fucking fast , techniquel and in his most solos creative. but what makes him different and much better then joey and most others is not just the speed also that he plays normal rock , jazz blues etc.

  • Honestly, I feel that blast beats are rather boring, there's not much skill required there, and they really don't sound all that great. Derek definitely has better vids than this, but either way, I think Joey has more groove to his style of playing and I, personally, find his drumming more interesting. Despite the fact that I am not a slipknot fan.

  • Joey and Derek have totally two different styles bro, you can't really compare them. Derek Roddy has many different styles and this is one of them, which is death metal. I don't know if you heard of the band Hate Eternal but he played with them for a while, listen to them. I'm not bashing you bro.

  • ur retarded. i guess amazing endurance isnt a skill? cuz thats what derek has. speak before u talk PLEASE

  • It depends on the person . personally Derek is way better ive seen them both live and the solos Derek dose are almost ungodly compared to Joey's . Plus what you see here is just a warm up and he is not even playing full speed .

  • omfg would you little kids stop bitching and whining about who you think is the 'best drummer out there'... and wtf he uses a hella lot of arm on his blast beats.... but if it works for him, then w/e...

  • I think joey is fun listening to, compared to this

  • Joey Jordison is amatuer at best compared to Derek

  • If you can't hear beats in there then you don't have an ear for music JuubeiKeisuke :)

  • wth is he doing to that drumset... I think he is trying to play it but.... I don't know... he may be faster but so is a monkey but joey holds a beat this is just... idk

  • it's the same beat over and over. joey jordison is better. i agree

  • holding a beat at slipknots tempo is childs play compared to the tempos derek roddy does it at. it might not be as interesting to u but i promise u its twice as hard

  • find out a little bit more about Derek Roddy before you start comparing him to mediocre drummers.

  • maybe joey wouldnt play boring stuff like that. roddy is fast but he hasnt got godd ideas...

  • a little crazy and out of control, you need more control

  • crazy and out of control? your retarted. do you have any idea how much endurance and practice that requires? You try and do that solo and tell us how it works out. His drumming takes BEYOND control.

  • well that`s right man, it needs much practic

  • damn!! i know joey's kicked out of this, but he's still one of my fav's, coz what i liked about joey's drumming, is his bad ass bass!!!

  • thats why Derek has hundreds of BPM faster than joey?

  • WAY BETTER THAN JOEY!!!

    although joey is one of my favourite drummers of all time

  • my friend doesnt have a FB but he said n00b!!!

  • they are both very good drummer everyone quit bitchin

  • joey kicks his ass

  • derek roddy makes joey look like a joke

  • joey jordison has his own style.. this guy doesnt.. thats what make jordison a legendary drummer.. and you dont see this guy on the cover of drum magazines do you now..

  • please, tell me what joey does that is SO amazing about him? Derek Roddy has perfected blast beats and has taken speed (hand & feet) to the next level. Joey Jordinson plays in SLIPKNOT, one of the most poser metal bands out there. He has brought nothing to the drummer's table, except for a snare drum that looks as cheap as it sounds. Joey is another overrated drummer. When you want to see a legendary drummer, look at Chris Adler, HE IS UNIQUE. Watch some of his complex LoG Songs. DR > JJ

  • Joey Jordisson eat your heart out lol

  • ok hes fucking fast.. but it doesnt sounds so good tho :/

  • Tony Royster and other fusion players are better then this crap.

  • obviously you havent watched his other videos where he goes into detailed explination on several different styles/ techniques/ time signitures, he can do a lot, this is just what he likes to do

  • sucked

  • This guy kills.

    They should change the title though and take off the word "solo".

    He's probably drumming to a Hate Eternal song.

    There is so much energy here!!!!

  • Yeah it does sound like a song. I don't know which one though.

  • sounds like the victorious reign
